Other facilities

Guests are most welcome to visit our Chapel, which is prized as a masterpiece of English baroque. The statues on the Tower are attributed to Caius Cibber and represent Geometry, Astronomy, Theology and Medicine. The first chapel in Oxford to be designed on pure classical principles, this building was hailed by contemporaries as the most magnificent in the University. The tomb of Sir Thomas Pope, founder of Trinity, is in the Chapel and he is the only founder of an Oxford College to be buried in his own College.

History to the present day

The College of the Holy and Undivided Trinity in the University of Oxford of the foundation of Thomas Pope' is one of the constituent colleges of the University of Oxford and was founded in 1555. Located in the very centre of Broad Street next to Blackwell's book shop and the fictional Inspector Morse's favourite pub, the White Horse, it is enclosed by iron gates giving the College an open and accessible appearance. The leafy front quadrangle leads to three further quads, large lawns and attractive gardens which include a woodland area. Despite the size of its grounds, the College is relatively small in terms of student numbers, with about 300 undergraduates. There is an (inaccurate) legend that the Stuart Gates of Trinity will not be opened until a Jacobite reigns. The Chapel was the first College chapel to be designed entirely in the neoclassical style and Sir Christopher Wren is said to have assisted both in its design and in that of the Garden Quad. Famous alumni include: The Blessed Cardinal John Henry Newman; Lord Baltimore (who founded the colony of Maryland); Frederick, Lord North (Prime Minister 1770-82); William Pitt, Earl of Chatham (Prime Minister 1766-68); playwright Sir Terence Rattigan; Mr Stephen Lacey, BBC gardening presenter.
